Related: About this forumAny other fans of the new incarnation of Dallas? I never watched the original but I knew the
storyline (hell everyone in America knew when JR was shot and Bobby came back from the dead). At the time I wasn't interested. This time around I gave it a shot
and found myself really liking the cast-both the old-timers AND the hot sexy newcomers. Its fast paced, occasionally surprising and always delightfully "soap opera-ish". Brenda Strong FINALLY gets a chance to be alive after 7 years a a ghost on Deperate Housewives, the hot young guys were both on soap operas I watched in the past, and Larry Hagman's eyelashes are incredible. They make my skin crawl!
Surely I'm not the only one....

(52,130 posts)I have been very impressed. Larry Hagman, in particular, has done amazing work on the show. Sure some of the stories are a bit ridiculous, for example Sue Ellen running for governor, but it is oddly addictive.

I've always been very impressed with Larry Hagman and this series only solidifies that opinion.

I do think the two young female actresses are kind of weak, skills-wise. I do like John Ross, though, he's such a p**ck, and I'm glad Linda Gray is back on television...all in all, very enjoyable.
